Here I am on my first travel adventure. Mrs. Green took me to Millgrove Farms after school so I could practice using good manners and standing still for the camera. I am sitting in the hay behind some squash. Can you find me?
I jumped on the scarecrows hat for the next picture…

I like driving through the country. We passed a field with a long row of rolled up hay bales. I wonder if it was part of Millgrove Farms too.
This is a funny row of hay bales. I tried to stand on top of the hay caterpillar but the wind kept blowing me down. It looks like the caterpillar might try to eat me, but he didn’t. He was shy and didn’t say anything, but he always smiled at me. There are more rows of hay bales across this field.
These fruits and vegetables look yummy! Mrs. Green let me stand real close so I could smell them. I had to promise not to take a bite out of any of them. I was very careful not to step on any too.
There were zucchini squash, oranges, apples, green tomatoes starting to ripen, red okra, red bell peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, and much more in the vegetable stand. They also had lots of pumpkins and chrysanthemums, but Mrs. Green forgot to take a picture of those.
Check out these donkeys. They got really close to me. It made me a little nervous, but I think they wanted Mrs. Green to pet them (or give them an apple or something). Maybe they just wanted her to take more pictures.
There were rabbits and cats on the farm too but they were afraid of me so it was hard to get pictures of them. Here is a picture of me with the rabbits, but I’m kinda hard to see. The cats ran away whenever I tried to get close to them.
Here are the chickens. These are two Rhode Island Reds and a Plymouth Rock.
It started raining real hard before we got to see the cows and the goats. I started to feel bad about the rain but Mrs. Green reminded me that farmers had to have lots of rain or they couldn’t grow fruits and vegetables. This picture shows how hard it was raining…
While we waited for the rain to stop, Mrs. Green took some pictures of other things under the pole barn. There was lots of hay…
…and a machine that makes the hay bales in the fields. This makes bales like the ones above that were stacked up in the pole barn.
You can make your own scarecrow at Millgrove Farms. What fun!!!
Before we left I found a kitty that wasn’t afraid of me. Here is that sweet kitty cat…

We still didn’t get to see the cows and goats up close because of the rain. Mrs. Green says that’s just a good excuse to come back again. She says she and Mr. Green are planning to go to Millford Farms on November 6th and talk about bees to their customers. I hear Millgrove Farms has some really big plans for that day. I can’t wait!
